Hiring Manager
Real Real Estate, LLC 1199 Pearl
Street
Boulder, CO 80304 Dear Hiring
Manager,
I am pleased to submit my resume for your Research/Analyst Internship that I saw posted on the Career Buffs
website. As a student at the Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado, beginning my Senior year in August, I
am excited about the opportunity to learn more about real estate and finance to complement my education. Real
Estate is specifically of interest to me as both an investment and a career, since it seems to combine two things I’m
very interested in, business and people. My parents have been in the real estate industry for years and I like the idea
of working closely with people to meet their needs, but also using my problem solving and analytical skills. I am also
working toward a Certificate in Entrepreneurship and enjoy the aspects of networking, building new relationships and
growing a business.
As you can see by my resume, I’ve had many different work experiences. I feel strongly that they all provided me
with skills transferrable to your job. While at Rol in Vail, Colorado, I worked effectively in a team, but also
independently to ensure all operations of the restaurant, bar, and bowling alley ran smoothly. Additionally, I worked
with customers, made sure all needs were met and cleaned the facility daily. I would treat your customers and
employees with the same amount of respect and energy. My summers spent as a landscaper shows my ability to
meet deadlines and focus on tasks, no matter how repetitive or mundane. I am comfortable working hard, often
times without direction in a sometimes undesirable conditions. Having no gardening experience, I quickly learned the
knowledge necessary to professionally maintain a quality garden and the skills needed to communicate effectively
with my clients. I am comfortable with my ability to learn new things and believe my work ethic and interest in your
business will allow me to quickly pick up on what you would need me to do.
Lastly, I feel confident my coursework at the Leeds School of Business has prepared for your position. My quantitative
and analytical skills have been honed in my various finance classes. Specifically, my Investment Management class
taught me the necessary skills to make a quality investment through the use of modeling and analytical research. I
would hope to be able to use this knowledge in your position.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my qualifications. I hope to hear back from you soon.
Sincerely, Ron Burgandy
